Went to a local ‘Carl’s Jr’ Sunday evening and nearly had a heart attack.

The presumably Latino gentlemen behind the counter was wearing a tie and spoke better Egrish than me. The store was spotless and the employees didn’t sound like a yammering clutch of Canadian geese. The food was perfect - for what it is - and I was so stunned I took the time to fill out a customer comment card.

Carl Karcher would be proud of this facility.:)

At Coretta Scott King's funeral in early 2006, Ethel Kennedy, the widow of Robert Kennedy, leaned over to him and whispered, "The torch is being passed to you." "A chill went up my spine," Obama told an aide. (Newsweek)

Is it wrong that this annoys me so much? Maybe I'm just grouchy because I have to work the overnight tonight. :)

At least it annoys you in a very brief transaction. I have a swat team of Latina maids in my house every Friday, and when I'm home they just say a few words to me then chatter away in Spanish to each other the entire time they're here. I figure they're gossiping or filling each other in on the latest telenovela.

Yeah they have touch screens here too. I got a soda there the other day and the lady tried to give me the wrong size and I had to tell her about 5 times that it was wrong because she didn't understand english that well. Very frustrating.

Why go to a place that hires foreign speaking help? I think I would just walk out and go some place else.

Worked late nights for 3 years...Loved it, but it's way to easy to gain weight.
